So, I looked back at my writing habits of late and they're not that great. Sure I can make the excuse that I'm trying to get a manager position at my job right now (application is already submitted just waiting to hear that it is a for sure thing), but really it is just that.
It's an excuse.
I hate making excuses, but it seems like I do it a lot. And that's really a bad thing. Especially when I sit and watch these movies based off books or I read these amazing books and I keep thinking: I want that to be me. My muse is ready. It's there, I just have to push myself into that position. I know I do. I know that I can which is even more important.
And I really have to get out of that. I have so many ideas and I even have one that's ready, I just, I don't want to publish it without something else waiting to join it in the next few months or however long it ends up being. I don't want to be that person who puts up a story that clearly builds into a world and then never add anything to it. That never seems right to me.
So, I have to fix that. I really do. I have to find a way to schedule time. Motivation and reward and all of that. Writing makes me happy. It brings me alive. It fills me with something that I can't explain and I refuse to give up on it and just let it go. That means I have to come up with a plan and go for it. I can't hold back. And I have been. I have been doing it for a long time.
I really need to stop that. It's not good for me. In the least. I don't think it's good for anyone to hold back when it comes to what they really love. So to writing I go. If I keep holding back, it's gonna kill me.
